I've finished another quilt! This was probably my oldest UFO to date. It was a Strip Club project offered by my local quilt store in 2006 (
I think). It's been in a flimsy stage for at least a few years and I've just finally quilted and bound it.

I really like this quilt, so I'm surprised it's taken me so long to finish it. To be honest, I was intimidated by my quilting frame for the longest time, so I made lots of tops but didn't quilt them. However, with practice, I feel much more comfortable doing pantographs and am slowly making my way through the stack of UFOs. (
Plenty still to go though!)

After loading it on the frame, I managed to quilt it in just a few days. I generally make one or two passes at a time and then take a break and work on something else. Before you know it, another quilt is done...

I tried a new pantograph on this one called
Funky Feathers from Urban Elementz. I'll definitely use it again.

Because this quilt was made so long ago, I couldn't find any leftover fabric to use to make a label. Instead, the quilt label is part of
The Word for All Occasions Fabric Panel by
Block Party Studios.

Whenever I work on a quilt, I usually have one or more helpers. For this quilt, it was Moses...

She was particularly helpful when I tried to square the quilt and put on the binding...
Until later...
Shout to the LORD, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy!
Psalms 98:4 (NLT)
Congratulations!
